Twitter in Translation: Arson Edition

Mr. Hirasawa will on occasion use Twitter to recommend a friend's album or business or whatever. And sometimes he will talk about other members of P-Model.

And sometimes this is the result:

Feb. 11, 2010:

しばし休憩。新宿サブマリンでブラックサバス聴いてくる。
Taking a short break. Going to go listen to some Black Sabbath at Shinjuku Submarine.

で、そのあとは原宿DJストーンで店員にキレまくている田中をなだめに行く。
And after that I'll go calm down Tanaka, who's flipping out completely at the employees of Harajuku DJ Stone.

で、その後は展望もないのにフィギュア・ショップを開店しようおしている田井中を止めに行く。
And after that I'll go stop Tainaka from opening up a figurine shop with no prospects for the future.

で、その後はドアの隙間にガムテープ貼ってる秋山を手伝いに行く。
And after that I'll go help Akiyama, who's putting packing tape over the cracks on his door.

Alright. I...I think I'm not going to ask for details.

あー、とまらない。
Aah, it never ends.

So much for taking a "short" break, eh?

で、その後はシーロム行って現地人を奴隷のように扱っている日本人沈没オヤジ(専門用語)の観光会社に火をつけに行く。
And after that I'll go to Si Lom and set fire to the tourist agency run by an Old Drunken Japanese Man (that's a term of art) who treats the natives like slaves.

Going all the way to Thailand on your break? Please don't get arrested.

私の着火具も落ちぶれたもんだ。沈没オヤジに火つけてどうする。昔はよく美術館を燃やしたもんだ。
My fire-setting tools have fallen dreadfully low. What am I doing setting fire to old drunk men? Back in the day I used to set fire to art museums!

HAHA, clever reference to the ancient P-Model song "美術館で会った人だろ(Art Mania)" aka "You're the One I Met in the Art Museum (Art Mania)" aka that song where a young, wide-eyed, little Hirasawa sings "I'll set fire to the art museum!" but okay. I laughed.

おい、若い衆、聞いてくれ。「美術館に火をつける」と言ったら「レコ倫」が血相変えて飛んできたぞ。
Hey, laddie, listen to this. I said "I'll set fire to the art museum" and then the RIAJ flew at me all white with rage!

OH HO HO. The recording industry takes another hit!
